Car owners look for ways
to deal with replacement delays for Takata airbags.

The Los Angeles Times (4/19, White, 4.1M) reports
that as the growing scale of the Takata recall has meant some car owners will
have to wait months for a replacement. The Times writes that some dealerships
are offering rentals, while “some need to be pushed into offering them, customers
complain.” The Times also mentions that “drivers under age 25 or with weak
insurance coverage or credit say they are encountering snags when they get to
the rental counter.” The Times notes that the NHTSA said last week that the
recall may be expanded if Takata cannot prove the safety of airbags in cars
currently considered safe.
